The Donaldson family have been seriously involved in wine since the early 1970’s and were pioneers of local grape growing and winemaking. A deep respect for the land with a long term view towards vine and soil health typifies the Donaldson Family’s approach to grape growing. Their aim is to grow grapes of the highest quality, which fully express the features of the vineyard, and to handle these with the utmost respect. Minimal intervention at all stages from vine to bottle typifies their approach. They believe in traditional sustainable viticultural management. We aspire to capture the unique flavours of the vineyard in our wine.
A deep, ruby hue. There is a dense core of fruit with hints of purple plums, blackberries, black cherries, cassis, liquorice and spice both on the bouquet and the palate. It is chunky and muscular in the palate with a frame-work of well-ripened, fine-grained tannins which flow through the wine and help draw out the lingering after-taste.
